Default what should i do???

I am wanting to add some boost to my 99. Would I be better off to buy a ncomplete kit from a&a? Or would it be cheaper to buy the kit minus the head unit, and buy a nice used vortech/procharger?

lots of details left out in your post. I suggest calling one or both vendors and discuss the plans for your car.

i sent steve from a&a a pm and asked if prochargers would work on the kit and they will. he also said that they sell the kit with everything minus the headunit and fuel system. i really just want to know which would be the cheapest.

Buy a complete kit but talk to them first and let them know your goals and needs plus wants and they'll get you steered in the right direction the first time

I personally like the ProCharger kit

Thanks,Matt

You should buy my complete twin intercooler procharger system with A&A upgraded bracket, 42lbs green top injectors, 3.85 pulley, Alky kit, autometer boost and fuel gauge with pod for $4000 and come and pick it up.

I would suggest the new A&A kit. you really can't go wrong with either procharger or vortech.
